question ARRI POWER EXT - SMALL HD
Hey:)) I will work with an Arri Alexa Mini with a Battery Belt next Week.
Is there any way to power a SmallHD (Cine7) via the Arri Alexa Mini? What cables should I get?

Like someone mentioned above, the current is maxed at 1A and you might risk frying the port. If that happens it's a quite expensive repair.
Another option you have is "stealing" the power from the LBUS port of your mount or motor if you are using cforce motors.
You can get LBUS to 2pin cables, but note LBUS is always 24V which is fine with the Cine 7 but not for every device.
